Spelarna du måste ha i ditt Fantasy SHL-lag!

Storyline / Premise

This video is a panel-style guide for Fantasy SHL (season 2627). Several Swedish fantasy players/co-hosts walk through which SHL teams and players they recommend.

The “story” is essentially meta-building: the hosts explain the fantasy value team-by-team as they construct (or debate) competitive squads using:

• Safe picks
• Budget bargains
• New acquisitions

They also factor in:

• Power play roles (PP1/PP2)
• Defensive roles
• Coach-card strategy
• The impact of match schedules (notably triple weeks)

---

Gameplay Highlights & Key Mechanics Mentioned

Team-building categories

• Safe choice Players with predictable roles/production (often established SHL contributors).

• Budget / bargains Cheaper players who can outperform if they receive:

  • playing time, and/or
  • the right power play role.

• New acquisition / new role Signings returning to SHL or new transfers with limited sample but potential upside.

Power play focus (major theme)

The panel repeatedly emphasizes checking who gets PP1/PP2 minutes, because fantasy scoring heavily rewards the extra scoring opportunities on the power play.

Plus/minus matters

They discuss how plus/minus scoring impacts fantasy points:

• Plus = good
• Minus = bad

“Floor” and “value”

Many picks are framed around a points floor, driven by:

• stable minutes,
• PP usage,
• and roles that generate consistent offensive/defensive contributions (especially for defenders/centers).

Coach cards + “triple week” planning

• Coach cards can multiply points across a week with multiple matches.
• Triple week: a team plays three games, so deploying your strongest lineup during that stretch can dramatically increase fantasy totals.

Strategies / Key Tips (Actionable)

• Prioritize players with guaranteed or dominant power play roles, especially PP1.
• If you gamble, gamble on role certainty + PP usage, not just real-world reputation.
• Budget strategy
  • Use cheaper players to maintain squad value across the season.
  • Aim to still stack enough “ceiling” players in the top 5.
  • Benches are usually the cheapest way to maximize playable value.
• Early vs late season planning
  • Early: spread risk; roles/chemistry can still shift.
  • Later: once roles stabilize, it can be rational to stack from a “top trio/line.”
• Consider team weakness in fantasy terms:
  • Even weaker teams can be fantasy-relevant if a player plays lots of minutes/PP and has strong individual scoring involvement.

Team-by-Team Storyline (Recommended Fantasy Directions)

Björklöven (newcomers back after ~25 years)

• Theme: “Safe base + bargains + new signings,” with some offensive uncertainties.
• Safe / expected contributors
  • Kovat (positioned as proven SHL fantasy value)
  • Ekerstål Jonsson (framed as a calm “homecoming” who should earn playing time and PP time)
• Bargain / budget logic
  • A pairing idea around Ekestål with defensive-stat upside (e.g., tackles/defensive points).
• New acquisition upside
  • Lukas Wallmark as the offensive/PP engine—if he stays healthy and plays, fantasy points should follow.

Färjestad

• Theme: stable minutes/PP; ride what’s expected to improve.
• Safe / core
  • Bergqvist (trusted for heavy PP usage and a defensive/points floor)
  • Viktor Lodin (safe when you can’t predict where points land across the broader roster)
• Bargain
  • Sten (value via price drop and possible early PP involvement)
• New acquisition debate
  • Markus Johansson (expensive, higher upside)
  • Compared against Viktor Aidell (cheaper return)—debate centers on who produces more.

Luleå

• Theme: roles clearer than last year, making points easier to identify.
• Safe picks
  • Laxonen (emphasized for PP1 involvement plus defensive-minute support)
• Budget / bargain logic
  • Pick budget options only if there is PP or a stable role.
• Major tip
  • Power play time is framed as “more important than real hockey” for pure fantasy points.

Timrå

• Theme: “dig for gold” despite lacking obvious star producers.
• Safe
  • Jakob Johansson (goalkeeper priced profitably; expected to face many shots)
• Bargains
  • Defensive value bets like Linus Eriksson and Barkemo, dependent on PP/role and avoiding heavy minus risk from goals against.

Örebro

• Theme: forwards carry the fantasy load; more scoring-focused fun with new names.
• Safe
  • Karlqvist (treated as the most “guaranteed” fantasy scorer)
• Bargain / value
  • Alexander Command (young talent; expected role with cheap price-to-production)
  • Sampo Ranta (quality bargain if minutes/spot line up)
• New additions
  • Robin Salo and roster/PP pairings that could be “cheating” if both get PP roles together.
• Goalkeeper
  • Larsson positioned as a confident clear number one.

Brynäs

• Theme: star-studded homecomings; many stable options, but some role clarity questions.
• Safe
  • Silverberg (“what you get is what you get,” with veteran/NHL adjustment benefits)
  • Bellows (another stable fantasy-friendly forward)
• Budget
  • Bargain gems mentioned (e.g., Travinho as third-chain scoring-upside type)
• New role upside
  • Järnkrok (returning with a “producer mindset” to recreate fantasy-winning patterns)
  • Juuse / “Juice” (delayed role clarity after injuries mentioned)

HV71

• Theme: risky team environment, but individual PP/role can still be strong fantasy value.
• Safe
  • Jonathan Engan (described as a “guaranteed PP guy”)
• Budget
  • Ole Alsing (juicy first-defense bargain, despite minus-point risk)
  • Malte Gustafsson (youth/PP-driving possibility, but more uncertain than Alsing)

Malmö

• Theme: “wide” roster with more fantasy options; centers competing; PP emphasis.
• Safe
  • Händermark (top option due to strong “drawing” value/performance advantages)
• Budget
  • Hugo Pettersson (expected major PP role; prior PP production)
  • Barton (offensive gap-filler logic after Salo leaves)
• New signing upside
  • Axel Sundberg / Pettersson line combinations; PP slotting and playing time are key indicators.

Rögle

• Theme: stable scoring centers + budget PP upside.
• Safe
  • Fredrik Olofsson (stability + strong plus/minus profile)
• Budget
  • Johansson Sundsvig (expected scoring lift based on playoff momentum)
  • Filip Johansson (potential offensive explosion if roles/PP align)

Djurgården

• Theme: question whether fantasy “security” remains after junior/breakout opportunities fade.
• Safe
  • Huddén / Hudon (tested/proven fantasy gold)
  • Expensive but safe goalie (likely Hellberg)—shots/saves ecosystem support despite shot volume against
• Bargains
  • Esper Pettersson and other lower-cost options for ice-time minutes.

Frölunda

• Theme: top team, but playing time is spread—harder to find obvious “huge” winners.
• Safe
  • Fagemo (stable PP + production)
• Budget
  • Filip Hasa (role-dependent “eternal seventh”)
  • Other centers mentioned as role-dependent (e.g., Bosse Meyer and older references)

Linköping

• Theme: identity/hard work + “character players”; fantasy picks are role-focused.
• Safe
  • Goalie pick in the Markus Högberg / Hellberg range (stable choice)
  • Defender options like Fantenberg (injury history and PP situation matter)
• Bargain
  • Jakob Brana (value if healthy and first-string minutes)
  • New center Merödy / Merody (upside if role/ice time match)
• Veteran
  • Hulström (tempting scoring PP1/PP presence option)

Växjö

• Theme: safe points via proven playmakers and PP usage; some defenders returning to form.
• Safe
  • Joel Persson
  • Elvenäs / Juvenäs (core safe point sources)
• Budget
  • Peter Šlarik / “Slarik” (depends on chemistry and power play involvement)
  • Kalle Kratz (cheap attitude-type stable option)
• New signing
  • Sebastian Aho (expected to strengthen defense pair; potential ~30-point level depending on PP role)

Skellefteå

• Theme: elite team, but picks remain role/price dependent.
• Safe
  • Oskar Lindberg (captain-type fantasy lock)
  • Pontus Johansson (strong preseason/value defender)
  • Stjärnborg (stable cheaper role)
• New acquisitions
  • Mons Forsfjell framed more as: value if he gets first-back-pair minutes.

The teams mentioned in the top-five discussion include:

• Skellefteå
• Brynäs

They also note that Färjestad has open questions, especially around offensive defender/goalie distribution uncertainties.
